"Amin, you're here! The body's over there!"

When Liang Xiaorou saw Ye Tianming, she pointed to the carpet in front of a sofa.

There;

The body of a middle-aged man was lying on the carpet, with a knife stuck in his back.

It's just a very ordinary kitchen knife.

It hit him right in the back of the heart; it looked like he would have died instantly from the blow.

but;

As soon as Ye Tianming entered and saw the corpse, he knew that this was definitely not the cause of his death.

Because the surrounding area is too tidy!

Even if it's just a knife stabbing someone in the back of the heart, the knife piercing through the heart.

But the person does not die immediately.

Instead, there will be a minute or two of lucidity.

During this time, the injured person would have struggled, so the surrounding coffee table and the carpet under the body could not have been so neatly arranged.

There were also some small decorative items on the coffee table.

These things will tip over if you touch them even slightly.

But they are still standing there perfectly fine.

If the murderer intended to create the impression that someone stabbed the victim in the back, then Ye Tianming had to say that the person was an idiot.

How could someone who lacks even this basic common sense dare to kill?

"Mr. Ye?!"

At this moment, the wealthy woman who had just been chatting with Liang Xiaorou about the events leading up to and following the incident also looked at Ye Tianming in surprise.

"Mrs. Zhu, was the deceased your husband?"

Ye Tianming asked.

Mrs. Zhu nodded, then paused for a moment before quickly wiping away her tears.

"Mr. Ye, what are you doing?"

She looked at Ye Tianming's white coat with a puzzled expression.

"My main job is as a forensic pathologist."

Ye Tianming explained.

Mrs. Zhu was stunned.

His face was full of surprise and incomprehension.

At this moment, Ye Tianming also sent his assistant and apprentice, Ling Yaqing, to look around the body, while he looked at Mrs. Zhu and asked, "Mrs. Zhu, are you and your husband the only ones at home today?"

"My son is early too."

Mrs. Zhu said upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaorou immediately frowned and said, "Mrs. Zhu, why didn't you mention your son just now?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhu also looked troubled.

Just then, an impatient voice came from the second floor.

"It's so noisy! Can you please be quiet? I need to sleep!"

Upon hearing this voice, Liang Xiaorou immediately pointed, and two officers from the Major Crimes Unit ran upstairs and invited the young master Zhu down.

"What are you doing? I haven't broken the law. Be careful, or I'll sue you for vigilante justice!"

The young master Zhu, who had been asked to come down, still looked quite unhappy, muttering complaints. Seeing his mother approaching, he also looked resentful and said:

"Mom, I got home very late last night and I'm so sleepy right now. Couldn't you have waited until later to call the police?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at this young master Zhu with disdain.

"You brat! Your father is dead!"

Mrs. Zhu also scolded him angrily.

"What?! The old man is dead?!"

Young Master Zhu looked surprised, and then he saw the body lying on the carpet in front of the sofa.

"Mom, now that the old man is dead, does that mean all the money in the house is mine?"

At this moment, Zhu Gongzi, who was expected to be sad and upset, actually smiled happily and kept talking about money.

This infuriated Mrs. Zhu, who pointed at her son's nose and gave him a good scolding.

But this young master Zhu clearly didn't care about being scolded by his mother, or perhaps he was already used to it.

"Mom, don't get so upset. Of course I'm sad because Dad is dead! But there are some things we need to clarify first, right? You and Dad didn't have any illegitimate children together, did you?"

Young Master Zhu said with a smile.

There wasn't a trace of sadness or distress on her face.

"You little brat, I'll beat you to death!"

Mrs. Zhu raised her hand to hit her son, but when she did, she didn't seem to use any force at all.

The saying "a doting mother spoils her son" is absolutely true.

Ye Tianming saw this and shook his head.

He then ignored the mother and child and turned to walk towards the corpse.

He had just looked around, and if his judgment was correct, then this case was likely committed by someone he knew.

In other words;

The person who killed Mr. Zhu was either Mrs. Zhu or Mr. Zhu.

of course!

It could also be a household servant or something similar.

But the possibility is smaller than that of Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu.

Just then, another noisy commotion came from outside, followed by a girl wearing a pink hoodie and a black hat bursting in through the door.

"Don't stop me! This is my second uncle's house!"

The girl walked in from outside, holding an adorable calico cat in her arms.

Upon seeing Mrs. Zhu in the hall, the girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over, shouting, "Second Aunt, has your house been broken into? Why are there so many police officers here?"

As the girl was speaking, she turned her head and saw the corpse lying on the ground.

She screamed in fright and her face turned pale instantly.

"That's...Second Uncle?!"

The girl glanced at the corpse in surprise, then looked at her second aunt.

"It's Cindy!" Mrs. Zhu, her tears still wet on her face, walked over and said sadly, "Cindy, your second uncle..."

"Second Aunt, what exactly happened? How could Second Uncle—"

The girl, Cindy, also looked on in disbelief.

She had just met her second uncle a few days ago.

At that time, my second uncle even said with a smile that he would invite her to come to our house for dinner in a couple of days.

And yet, after only a few days, it actually happened...

At this moment, Mrs. Zhu also hugged Cindy and began to cry.

Meanwhile, the young master Zhu on the other side had a smirk on his face and even impatiently urged the police to take the body away quickly, saying something about it rotting.

That despicable face made you want to slap him a few times on the spot.

"Madam, you must find the murderer!"

While comforting her second aunt, Cindy also looked at Liang Xiaorou and said.

"Don't worry, this is our responsibility."

Liang Xiaorou said.

At this time;

Ye Tianming, who was standing next to the corpse, also stood up, took off his gloves, and tossed them to his assistant.

"How about it?"

Liang Xiaorou quickly asked.

"Hold on!"

Ye Tianming said something to her, then walked up to Mrs. Zhu and that Mr. Zhu.

"Gentlemen, please roll up your sleeves so I can take a look."

Ye Tianming addressed the two of them.

"Mr. Ye, is there a problem?"

Mrs. Zhu asked.

"Hey! Who are you? You're not a police officer, why should I listen to you?"

Young Master Zhu's attitude was very arrogant.

However, at this moment, Mrs. Zhu glared fiercely at her son.

"Shut up! This is Mr. Ye, a friend of your father!"

Young Master Zhu shrank back after being scolded, but he still seemed quite unconvinced.

Ye Tianming didn't bother arguing with this guy.
